Eric NealMarch 17, 2013Use the check in special to get a free shot...she makes great drinks. try each sauce but they are all amazing! Jalapeño Mac and cheese is good and the ribs are the perfect spicy dry rub, love them.
Steve CraigJanuary 12, 2014Still deciding, but this could be the best BBQ I've tasted in Atlanta! The pulled pork doesn't need ANY sauce, but their sauces are so damn good! Don't pass up the Jalapeño Mac-n-Cheese!
Dave ZMarch 8, 2014The ribs here are fantastic. They come out with a delicious dry-rub, and you get a variety of different sauces to put on them. Nothing too sweet or sugary, which I appreciate. Also, Skee-Ball.
Mike LaSage is the best BBQ king ever! This place is the bomb dot com! Love the staff and the food is so good it'll the a vegan into the carnivore.
Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014And anyone will do well with a side of pork-braised collard greens, excellently smoky and meaty, the best thing I've eaten at Bone Lick. Read more
Terry VaughnJanuary 16, 2016The brisket was great. It had just enough fat to make it extremely moist. Very similar to Texas brisket.
Kelen EvansJanuary 28, 2013Service was fast and friendly. Atmosphere is young and trendy. Let's hope the que is good. Ordered ribs, brisket and sausage with jalapeño Mac n cheese and collards
AngelaJuly 27, 2013Get the peach moonshine! awesome & one glass give a nice fun buzz. ribs & collards are fresh & well seasoned. I visited from NYC and loved it
Atlanta Eats TVJuly 17, 2013Bone Lick BBQ started life as a popup restaurant at P’Cheen in the Old Fourth Ward. One day a week, Mike LaSage transformed the bar into an award winning barbecue restaurant. Read more
Had the austintacious brisket sandwich and collards which was great. All their sauces are fantastic. Top notch BBQ - Monday night brewing co. on tap
Karyn MessinaJune 8, 2014Drove down from Maryland, was not disappointed! The pulled pork and brisket were tender and the sauce flavorful. If you want BBQ it's well worth finding
Kane McConnellDecember 30, 2013Jalapeño mac-n-cheese was great and the dry rub ribs melted off the bone the way ribs are meant to be. Service was outstanding.
DavidJune 10, 2013I had the pork which had nice crispy pieces. They had Carolina sauce and a tomato based KC spicy sauce that were good. Good collards also.- Free skee ball, and table top space invaders and centipede. Not to mention some of the best BBQ I've seen in town and good local beer on tap
Mason SpencerJuly 24, 2015The spare ribs, the vinegar-based sauces, the collards, and the jalapeño mac and cheese are AWESOME!
Jesse CovingtonJanuary 15, 2014Bone Lick has the BEST BBQ around!!! The owners are awesome as well and it is a great place all the way around!!!
Stefanie AJuly 30, 2013Big old totties. Nuff said! I used to crave Monday nights in summer to get this bbq at p'cheen and now I can have it any day of the week!
NayAugust 3, 2014I will be back for that brisket hash for sure!!! Very well seasoned and did not need hot sauce :-)
Patricia TinsleyNovember 8, 2012By ALL means, get the drink deal of the area. $5 Mike's Michelada. Sports a Tecate Tall Boy!
Shika JAugust 10, 2014Jalapeño Mac & cheese! 👍. They also play great music & some tables have arcade games inside.
Austintacious Sammie was awesome! Good food, good music, and good atmosphere. I'll be back for sure.
Haley JenkinsSeptember 2, 2015Fried pork skins are AMAZING! And the drink with jack and bacon is to die for!!
Mia GantMay 9, 2016Get the Big Ol Totties. Skip the Banana Pudding. Also, portion sizes are yuuuuuuge!
Tyra BAugust 30, 2012Nice staff. Try the Fat Ass Sampler to get a little taste of almost everything on the menu. AND they've got skeeball. 
Occupy My Family ATLSeptember 4, 2013Try something different for brunch. The Stuffed Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast is worth every calorie.
Daniel OliverSeptember 2, 2013Terrible portion sizes here. This is a pulled pork plate for $12. It's basically two ice cream scoops of pork. I could have ordered a sandwich for $8 and gotten the same amount of pork.
My little Southern Heart is at peace. The collards don't even need pepper sauce. (ask for Blue at the bar)
AtlantaSeptember 20, 2012Bone Lick’s barbecue made its name on Monday nights at P’cheen. Now it has the top billing it deserves.
David VonJune 8, 2013The menu gives me a headache. They need to get away from the 12 year old "large font capital letters" and just have a normal menu
.@krogmasq surprise mask delivery meets I need some grub mission.
Try the Smokin' Shrimp & Grits during Gospel Brunch.
TJ GreggsJuly 17, 2013Not a welcoming atmosphere. Took forever to get a "hello" even though the place was empty. Waitress was half-hearted, and not very upbeat. Food was dry. Out of the only dessert that looked worthwhile
Carisa DavisFebruary 20, 2013They no longer honor the boiled peanuts! They will only give you the popcorn. Ruuuude!!!!
David NashMarch 2, 2013Great place to go once. The food is good but the service sucks and it's overpriced. Fox Bros, Heirloom, Daddy Ds, etc all better options without question.
I have a really bad problem ordering anything BUT the boiled peanuts as I have developed a chemical dependency. No roadside stand matches up.

Sunny Manaktala - 7.5
"Great sides especially the collard greens. Love the BBQ and the rib tips."
Gregory Cox - 7.1
"The sauces make the ribs (melt in your mouth by themselves) even better. The collards, baked beans, macaroni, potato salad & cornbread are mouth watering. Kiara, the hostess, is a darling!!"
